Here's a different question than I think has been asked:
What if Embiid is Bill Walton? He plays 13 injury plagued years, only has 2 relatively healthy seasons, but in one of those seasons he wins MVP and leads his team to a championship and in the other healthy season he contributes big time to another championship. 2 healthy years, 2 championships, 1 as the team's best player, the other as an indispensable role player.
Was he worth the #3 pick?
